Traffic Pattern: Traffic control will be removed from the travel lanes of E. Johnson allowing for three lanes of traffic between Butler and Blair Streets and two lanes of traffic between Blair and Baldwin Streets. The bike lane and north parking lane will remain closed between Blair and Baldwin Streets to allow remaining work to be completed.

The proposed project includes reconstruction of East Johnson Street to a one-way, urban roadway, with 2-3 lanes, similar to the existing roadway. The proposed street layout will include two through lanes with additional lanes on each side of the street for parking or right turns. Parking lanes may be used for traffic during peak traffic hours. An on street bike lane will also be added with the project. The reconstruction of the street will include the replacement of the pavement, base material, curb and gutter and drive aprons. The proposed project will also include replacement of the sanitary sewer, water main and storm sewer systems as well as improvements to the street lighting and traffic signal systems. The existing sidewalk on both sides of the street will remain in place, with replacement of any damaged sections to ensure ADA compliance and replacement of any sections as required for installation of sanitary sewer laterals. All disturbed terrace areas will be restored with topsoil and reseeded.

Public Meetings

Bi-Weekly Construction Meetings

The City will hold bi-weekly construction meetings during the project for public to ask questions and learn about the project. The next bi-weekly construction meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 3, at 1:00 pm in the 2nd floor Community room of the Constellation, 10 N Livingston Street. Following meetings will continue on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 1:00 in the same location. Interested businesses and residents are encouraged to attend.

In fall of 2011 through spring of 2012, the City studied the implications of converting Johnson and Gorham to two-way streets along the corridor. Two public meetings were held to discuss the results of the study and obtain public input.

The first meeting was held on Thursday, November 10th, at 6pm at the Christ Presbyterian Church at 944 E. Gorham St. A copy of the presentation can be found here: 2011-11-10 Presentation
